Review of Mark Mate
Mar 2022
I have found a slight bug recently where if I have left general feedback for all my class, it is then difficult to give individual feedback afterwards. I have to come back to my home page after marking each pupil rather than stay in the marksheet and change feedback for each pupil by clicking on their name. At times, the system can be quite slow moving from page to page, or pupil to pupil.
Hayley Moutrey found Mark Mate:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Handwriting WWW and TMPC can sometimes be length in English. I use Mark Mate to include comments for my pupils to consider which challenges them. I can use prompt questions to scaffold. I now only literacy mark books and all of my summative comments are given via Mark Mate stickers. Copying and pasting my comments can also be a great time saver!”
- Moderately provides school data“I haven't used Mark Mate for long enough yet to comment (KS4). However, it helps with report writing and during Parent's Evening greatly as I can see every comment I've given a child just by hovering my curser over their name. I have also found the colour coding to be most helpful for Life Without Levels (KS3).”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Feedback is personalised.”
- Significantly improves teacher wellbeing“I have significant back problems and struggle to sit for long periods of time. Mark Mate reduces the time I spent marking but also my posture as I can type or say my feedback rather than write it.”
